Our doctors perform a variety of routine and advanced soft tissue surgeries and dentistry in our surgery suite and dentistry area. We refer our orthopedic procedures out, but we do have equipment for TPLO procedures for any candidates interested and experienced in orthopedic surgery. Any candidate interested in surgery (soft tissue or orthopedic) would have their own surgery day.

Most importantly, we have phenomenal, experienced support staff who are crucial to the success of patient and client care. Every employee works together as a team each day and we do not tolerate drama. To round out the group, our practice manager, Robert, keeps us all on track and the practice running smoothly. We have a SUPER FUN group of team members, focused on development and growth right now as a team .

At Southwest Animal Hospital, we have worked very hard to create a highly-motivated, experienced team and are looking for a candidate who will support and embrace our collaborative environment. Our focus is on excellent quality care, preventive medicine, building relationships, education, and positive experiences for our clients and staff. We are also a food motivated team! We have lunch brought in for the team every Monday and we genuinely enjoy spending time as a team outside of work, too. We routinely do escape rooms, hayrides, and have get togethers at each other's houses.

We can be flexible with scheduling, accommodating a 3- or 4-day work week and rotating Saturdays.
